    There were 100 attacks by sharks on humans last year. In that time, humans killed 100 million sharks. So didn’t Jaws have the shark-to-human dynamic the wrong way round?

    A man in his 50s has been attacked by a shark while swimming in Perth’s Swan River.

    The swimmer was taken to the Royal Perth Hospital via ambulance with a serious leg injury after he was bitten by a two to three metre bull shark.

    He was rescued by kayakers at Blackwall Reach at Bicton.

    Western Australia Premier Mark McGowan said the incident was “unexpected and surprising” as no one had been attacked by a bull shark in the river for 50 years, with the last fatality 100 years ago.

  • Olympic gold medalist swimmer Klete Keller among Trump supporters that stormed U.S. Capitol

    An Olympic gold medalist in swimming was part of the group of President Donald Trump’s supporters that stormed the United States Capitol Building on Wednesday. The man in question, as first reported by SwimSwam.com, is Klete Keller, who won two gold medals as a relay teammate of Michael Phelps.

    Keller was identified by “a dozen people within the sport,” according to SwimSwam.com, in a review of footage and various screenshots from the riot that made its way inside the Capitol. The swimmer was identified not only because of his height — he stands at 6-feet-6-inches — but also because he was wearing a U.S. Olympics-branded team jacket during the charge into the federal building and did not have anything obscuring his face.

    The 38-year-old has deleted his social media accounts, but The New York Times reports that his feeds “included a stream of pro-Trump messaging” to the point that the people who identified him in the footage were not surprised he was in the Capitol building.

    The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is searching for information on the person or persons responsible for the harassment of a manatee discovered Sunday in the headwaters of the Homosassa River. The animal had the word “Trump” scraped into its back.

    Craig Cavanna, senior federal wildlife officer, and current investigating officer said of the situation, “I cannot comment on a current, ongoing investigation.”

    He added harassment of a manatee, protected by the Endangered Species Act, is a Class A federal criminal offense punishable by a $50,000 fine and/or up-to one-year in federal prison.

  • Freestyle Swimming Technique – How to Breathe | The Race Club

    A lot of swimmers don’t think about how they are breathing but it can make a huge difference in your freestyle swim technique. Even at the highest level, there are common mistakes in breathing. Nathan Adrian is perhaps the best ‘breather’ in the world when it comes to how he takes his breath in a race. He uses his neck muscles to force the head back down quickly to minimize the amount of drag caused by the head out of alignment. In this video Race Club, coaches teach swim drills to help the campers learn the proper way to breathe, like Nathan Adrian!
